Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Dizzy FeatherEnjoy!

Brony: Don’t say no, here we go, off across the plain.

Hello everyone, Dizzy Feather here with the answers to round five of “What’s Missing?”, a Pop puzzle where I obscured items from in-game scenes for you to guess “what’s missing.” If you missed it, play the game on the original post before scrolling down for spoilers!

Shout-out to Meloetta Got Heart, Smart Icicle, and Young Rider for getting the majority correct, and Silver Sword for getting them all! Anyway, here are the answers:

Hope you enjoyed this PoptropiCon, Ep. 2 puzzle! Stay tuned for the next one — it’ll be based on the Zomberry Hero special event!

Contests, Member Gifts

Have a Holly Jolly Contest 🖌🎁

I don’t know if there’ll be snow, but you could get a gift of cheer!

For the first time ever, the Pop Creators are inviting players to design items for the annual Poptropica tradition of 12 Days of Member Gifts. It’s not your typical costume contest — this month, you can come up with clubhouse decorations, pets, followers, and yes, costumes too.

The Holly Jolly Holiday Design Contest welcomes all your winter holiday themed ideas, and 12 players will get theirs made in the game to be given as member gifts in December! But you don’t have to be a member to enter — and if you’re lucky enough to win, you’ll even get your gift for free, regardless of your membership status.

All entries must be sent to Poptropica’s submissions page by Wed, November 16 at 8pm PST. For wintry whispers to waken your imagination, check out Pop’s list of holiday gifts from 2020, and more on the official contest post. Happy merrymaking! ☃️❄️🎄

Ho ho Home Island trees
Are changing colors, you can see
Pop Creators wait for you
Make winter magic for me

Holly Jolly Christmas …Grapple-Pap?

Fan Art Features, Home Island, Mission Atlantis Island, Store

Autumn Home and Atlantis Hint 🍂🐡

Happy November! As we bid farewell to Red October (did you check out our delightfully devilish Hallowinners??), we’re ushering in a new look…

Home Island has pulled another one of its infamous switch-a-roos, and the landing base is now covered in yellow and orange fall foliage. 🍂🍁

Inside Adventure Outfitters, the shop floor is now offering some distinctly underwater inspired costumes and sea creature clubhouse props! Though the Pop Creators haven’t mentioned anything yet, we can’t help but wonder if this is a hint for Mission Atlantis Island, which had its first episode re-released on Haxe (desktop and mobile) for members the last time some of these items were in the store. One year on, is the island finally going to open to non-members?


Enjoy the latest fan art features from Poptropica’s Instagram stories, collected over the past couple of weeks. We’ve got OCs galore, a few memes, and even a sketch of the scary Red Queen!

Anyway, the deep sea isn’t the only blue tide lately! Catch some more of the beautiful blues in our Community Creations and Halloween costume contest winners. Sea ya in the next wave, Poptropicans! 🌊

Contests

The Devil Wears Poptropica: Hallowinners of the PHB’s 14th Costume Contest 🎃😈💎

😈 Happy Halloween, Poptropicans! 🎃

Hope you’re having a fang-tastic day! The time has come for us to announce the winners of this year’s Poptropica Help Blog Halloween Costume Contest, our 14th annual round.

Themed “The Devil Wears Poptropica,” this year we sought your spooky suits with a special twist: the costumes had to have something blue. 💎 And you delivered — now here comes the petrifying parade!

🥉 Third Prize 🥉

1-month Poptropica membership

“Electric Beast” by HeartOfEnder

Check out this electrifying fit! HeartOfEnder dazzled us with this casual yet chilling combo, with a horned beanie and skeletal hoodie paired with powerful pieces of wings, a tail, and a lightning staff. And keeping with the theme, blue is a central color throughout the look. Striking!

🥈 Second Prize 🥈

3-month Poptropica membership

“Boogie Bones” by Jean of Pop

Back from three previous victories in 2019, 2020, and 2021, Jean of Pop dances their way to the podium once again with this groovy getup from the underworld. While the pulsing cobalt afro definitely checks the box for blue, the rest of the outfit also weaves in some nice navy alongside some spooky skeletal white pieces. Snazzy!

🥇 First Prize 🥇

6-month Poptropica membership

“The Dokkaebi” by Magic Poptropican

What a beast! Magic Poptropican brings us chills with this dokkaebi 도깨비, a goblin-like creature from Korean mythology. Spikes abound from the horns on the head, down the back, and through the giant club it wields. Besides the peeks of blue, its bright red skin and piercing eyes also add to the scare — a frightening fellow on par with Fairytale’s Rumpel.

Congrats to all the Hallowinners! In addition to the membership prizes, their outstanding outfits will be immortalized in our Lookbook. Enjoy!


💎 Honorable Mentions 💎

We loved seeing all your devilishly delightful looks and just had to share more highlights. Plus, check out the PHB team’s costumes in the original contest post, and more entries in the comments there too! 🧡🖤


🎃 Happy Halloween, Zomberries and cherries! 🎃

Pop Puzzles: What’s Missing? Round 5 🧐

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Dizzy FeatherEnjoy!

Brony: Don’t say no, here we go, off across the plain.

Hello everyone, Dizzy Feather here with round five of “What’s Missing?” Here’s how the game works:

I’ll show you screenshots from Poptropica with a detail covered up, and you try to guess what the missing piece is. Leave your guesses in the comments of this post, and in about a week I’ll share the answers and shout out those who got any of them correct! A couple of rules:

  • No cheating! Don’t go in-game to the area shown to find the answers, and don’t copy someone else’s answers (best not to look before sharing yours). Not only would that be cheating others, but you’ll be taking the fun away from yourself!
  • Have fun! It’s just a game. Don’t pressure yourself to get them all.

Now that we’ve got that down, let’s start this PoptropiCon Island, Ep. 2 edition puzzle! You may need to click on images to view them in full.

So what’s missing? Share your guesses in the comments, and if you’re right, I’ll mention you when I reveal the answers. Good luck!
